Inspired by stories of "crypto-Jews" who fled the Spanish Inquisition and eventually migrated to South America and the Southwest and influenced by the Indian culture and colors of the Southwest where she resided for a time, Joffe has created a new body of work. In this work, she explores specifically the idea of exile. Rich in color and line and even exuberant with the figure of a tall proud woman, this master work suggests strength in the face of adversity.
Joffe�s career spans the post-World War II Abstract Expressionist movement to the present. She was embraced by the first generation of AbEx painters as a student, friend and colleague and has exhibited with many of them. She has exhibited nationally in galleries and museums, showing alongside artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Eric Fischel, Linda Benglis, April Gornick, Larry Rivers, and Jackie Windsor. Phyllis Braff, writing in the New York Times in 1987, characterized Joffe�s work as �a tumultuous rush of loose lines� high pitched fiery colors that give the feel of heat and pressure.� |
